The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1887-07-15

The advice OF the REGISTER either
carries with it good deal of weight ,or
else it succeeds remarkably well In
finding out what advice the people
want and then giving it to them. We
have elsewhere alluded to the endorse.
ment given US by the horticultural
Society, and now Rev. johnson i'm.
forms US that, in the line of the sug.
gestion made last week, he has secured
Freeman's Grove from the first to the
fifteenth of September for the purpose
of holding Methodist Camp Meeting.
Mr.. johnson will 60 to Ottawa soon to
secure tents, ana will at once begin
making all the other necessary arran-
gements. The encampment will
extend over week or ten days. and
under Mr.. Johns0n's enthusiastic land
capable management we have no hes.
itancy in predicting its complete sue
cess.
Down at Geuda Springs the Frisco
road is putting upa 100000 hotel,
$50 600 bath house aud spending lot
of money In Other ways to make the
place q popular resort. Why couldn't
the Southern Kansas be persuaded to
buy Freeman's Grove and either buy
OF bore Mineral well and do the same
thing here in the matter of the hotel
and bath house? lola is already we'll
advertised, and with half the money
that Is spent at Geuda Springs could be
converted into a resort that would bring
thousands Of strangers here every sum-
mer. Would it not be worth while for
the Board of Trade tc send a commit
tee to confer with the Southern Kan
sas authorities concerning the matter?
The Board of Trade has q letter
from N. F. Acres stating that the
WyandOtte Brick Company have
thoroughly tested the samples of clay
which Mr.. Acres recently shipped to |
them from this place, and pronounce
it the best clay in the State. This
verdict is certainly encouraging and
the Board of Trade will at once open
correspondence with view of having
the deposit utilized. With the finest
clay in the state to be had for the
taking it would certainly seem that
lola ought to ba able to manufacture |
brick enough to supply the home de-
mand at least.
Reports comes from a great many of
our neighbOring towns of excessive
mortality among children, the various
summer complaints seeming in many
instances to be epidemic. lola has
been very free from fatal sickness thus
far, but the most trying season of the
year is now upon us and only constant
care and watchfllness can deliver our
own city from the scOurge that has
visited our neighbors. Pure air, pure
water and proper food are the chief
preventives.
The REGISTER will begin next week
the publication ola continued story by
County Treasurer Hayward. 1t will
be entitled "The Delinquent Tax
List" and will run four weeks, There
isn't much ''love'' in the story but
there is lots of money. 1t is made up
almost entirely of descriptions and
names and will doubtless be highly
interesting to great many people.

chapters.
The biggest celebration ever held
in the valley; an Eastern Star Picnic
that will sweep in everything from
Ottawa to Independence; a Camp

Fair and Stock Show that will
be the talk of the county until another

pay town to have park?
T. F. Strickland shipped two car
loads of gravel Monday tOLeavenwOrth
parties, with the understanding that if
the gravel is satisfactory he is to make
a contract to..ship 200 carloads to the
same parties. The result is awaited
with much interest as the digging and
loading of so large an amount of gravel
would employ large number of la
!. -ers. The gravel is taken from Mr..
Horville's land.

our farming community. We cal!
attention specially to the place and
lime of trial, given in our notice. :
